- Share of renewable electricity consumption (normalized by industry)
- Sustainability maturity
- Intent to leverage sustainability solutions
- Sustainability accreditations and certifications
The ranking takes into account all companies in illuminem's database. It leverages publicly available data as well as responses from the brief illuminem survey (please fill it out here for your company).

Sustainability Maturity
ⓈMaturity gauges how far along a company is on its sustainability journey. It takes into account various factors such as:- Breadth and depth of sustainability strategy
- Investment in sustainability
- External stakeholder engagement on sustainability topics
- Disclosure, awareness and management of environmental performance
- Sustainability certifications, awards and memberships
The maturity rank is based on a company's overall maturity score compared to other companies in the same industry (over 50 companies) in Illuminem's database. Higher maturity result in a higher rank.
Companies at the early stage of their sustainability journey are usually just starting to recognize the importance of sustainability. Their goals are often compliance-driven, cost-saving, or reputation-based, rather than deeply integrated into their core business strategy. Example solutions include services to comply with regulations, compliance software, consulting services, energy management & efficiency to reduce cost, certifications etc.
Companies with high sustainability maturity have deeply integrated sustainability into their core strategy and view it as a competitive advantage. Sustainability is not just a compliance requirement but a business driver that aligns with long-term value creation. Example solutions include insetting & supply chain services, carbon neutrality solutions, circular economy models, innovations in sustainable products and services etc.

- News or public reports by the company signaling interest to buy relevant solutions
- Intensity and progress against sustainability targets or pledges (reported publicly by the company)
- Level of pressure on sustainability performance from relevant stakeholders (as reported by the company or estimated based on industry/geography)
The intent rank is based on a company's overall intent score compared to other companies in the same industry (over 50 companies) in Illuminem's database. Higher intent results in a higher rank.

Progress against targets
ⓈCompany sustainability reportMaple Leaf Foods has been celebrating four years as a carbon-neutral company, indicating progress in its sustainability efforts. The company has launched industry-leading innovations, such as Maple Leaf Natural Selections, and has made strides in sustainable packaging by converting to 100% recyclable trays at its London Poultry facility. Additionally, the company has eliminated approximately 1000 tonnes of waste from landfill in its fresh poultry business since 2022. These efforts are part of a broader sustainability execution task force aimed at advancing long-term, high-impact projects, including scaling up regenerative agriculture initiatives and investments. However, specific quantitative progress towards a net zero target, such as percentage reductions in GHG emissions across all scopes, is not detailed.
